Here is one among many answers possible: he writes a book of “fleshly readings” of the Bible in order to explicate “how crude it really is and indeed can be.” Roland Boer’s “The Earthy Nature of the Bible” is research in a territory, into which a few writers have ventured thus far. It is an innovative, sometimes even shocking, display of unorthodox practices of biblical hermeneutics, such as: “discussion of terms for testicles, of the pervasive but futile spermatic spluttering pen(is) of the prophets; engagements with the sexuality of flora and fauna; hooker hermeneutics, fairy queens and anal dildos; Jeremiah the masturbator, Ezekiel the autofellating prophet; prophetic hygrophilia; and the bestial and necrophiliac practices of the Hittites” (1). The scandalous matter and the language of perversion conceal the fact that it is a case of a sound and conceptually holistic project whose very aim is to scandalize and provoke the inveterate traditions of biblical scholarship. It is accomplished in a broad interdisciplinary space where biblical, cultural and gender studies—just to name some of the main areas of knowledge— are crossing paths. The interpretation of biblical texts takes place along the methodological lines of three “materialist” theories: psychoanalysis, Marxism and ecocriticism (materialism of the psyche, materialism of history, materialism of nature). The landmarks of theoretical authority are Freud and Lacan, with the extension of Slavoj Žižek; Claude Levy-Strauss and Louis Althusser, Antonio Negri and Antonio Gramsci. Yet the all-pervading methodological assumption is that of Marxism, a frame of knowledge, which “is ingrained so deeply in my thought,” Boer admits, “that it shows up in the fabric of almost every sentence” (2).","PeriodicalId":53382,"journal":{"name":"The Bible and Critical Theory","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67578062","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This soul-searching has been prompted by a wide array of factors. One factor has been the proliferation of different methodological approaches in the later decades of the twentieth century and early years of the twenty-first, all accompanied by a concomitant efflorescence of interpretive perspectives and philosophical standpoints. Such newer approaches, perspectives, and standpoints entail different understandings of the respective roles of subjectivity and objectivity in the process of interpreting biblical texts. More recently we have also seen a burgeoning of reception-historical approaches to biblical texts (classical and ancient Near Eastern texts have also benefited from such treatment) which have emerged to challenge the hitherto dominant historicalcritical paradigms of the guild. Much of this, though by no means all, has taken place within the privileged and hallowed halls of the Western academy (or at least to a significant degree under its influence) and falls within the purview of what Alissa Jones Nelson terms “academic” or “idea-primary” (1) approaches. These approaches are dominated by readers trained in the languages, methods and ruling questions that have long shaped and determined the character and purpose of the Biblical Studies guild.","PeriodicalId":53382,"journal":{"name":"The Bible and Critical Theory","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67578000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Alongside traditional scholarly book reviews of select new titles in biblical studies, these review essays will feature critical, scholarly engagements, written by established biblical scholars, of books and general culture which are not, per se, directly addressing “biblical scholarship.” At times, the intersection with biblical studies will arise because of an author’s use of Bible—implicit or explicit—in a creative or literary work. Others, however, will feature books that closely intersect with history, literature, economics and cultural studies, critical theory and philosophy, or other fields of scholarship of interest to readers of Bible & Critical Theory. Leading off the series is Peter J. Sabo’s fine engagement with Karl Knausgaard. We welcome your suggestions for books of interest and hope that you find these essays stimulating. Please address your comments and suggestions for future titles to review (or reviewers of interest) to the Book Review Editor, Robert Paul Seesengood, at the address provided by the journal. We hope you enjoy this series.","PeriodicalId":53382,"journal":{"name":"The Bible and Critical Theory","volume":"88 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67577636","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
